Young men marched past that day, They came to the cities from near and far, They walked or travelled by buggy not car, Young men marched past that day. NTAS, Brown, NTRS 234, CP 173

Young men marched past that day, They lied about their age cause they were strong, But the war they were fighting just kept going on, Young men marched past that day.

Young men marched past that day, They dug their foxholes and ate bully beef, Slept where and when there was a bit of relief, Young men marched past that day. Flying Officer A V Dolphin Royal Australian Air Force 5 Sept 1939 aged 23 From A Menadue Family History Collection

Young men marched past that day, The crying and the dying was it all in vain, The death and disaster and the terrible pain, Old men marched past that day. NTAS, Nichols, NTRS 234, CP 369/10

Old men marched past that day, The rumble of the thunder and the rattle of the rain, In the dead of the night brings back the pain, Old men marched past that day. NTAS, Nichols, NTRS 234, CP 369/6

Old men marched past that day, A living reminder of the days long gone, Their yarns and their stories still carry on, Old men marched past that day. NTAS Kemp, NTRS 234, CP 206/12

Old men marched past that day, Sentimental journeys where they stood as one, They see the scene but their mates are gone, Old men marched past that day. Top left - Guard of honour Anzac March 1960’s – C McKenzie Lower – Anzac March Darwin 2004 – N Pritchard
